I loved this picture of my Daddy (isn't he cute!) by the pool at my brother's house on Labor Day weekend. (Yes I'm that far behind!) He is always there for me no matter what and I wanted to pay tribute to him with a layout. This page was designed for the technique challenge at Scrap City, the challenge was to sew on a layout. I machine stitched the scalloped circle to the background paper and I hand sewed the buttons to the layout.
My LOAD for today! This is not for any challenge or team work, just a layout for Greg. Everyone loves his cooking especially from the grill.
Our February sponsor at Scrap City this month is Dream Designs, check out the gallery for some great inspiration!
The layout from 2/4 "Good Time" was also done with product from Dream Design.
We had an ATC swap at Scrap City. I had bought these stickers in a cute little gift shop in Portland and knew they would be perfect for an ATC. The sticker look vintage, but have current day sayings. I painted, stamped, embossing, blinged and stickled the cards, these were so fun to make! The pics aren't great because the weather was so yucky I had to take them inside,
Last January I did the "Layout A Day" challenge with Lain at Scrap Happy. She is having again next month. It's a great way to catch up on your scrapping and the prize is a good incentive. Check out her blog and see how to register if you're up for the challenge!
This was like doing 24 layouts at once and it's why Ashley and Debbie didn't get their Christmas gifts until mid-Jan! This year I am going to try and do a Calendar layout each month.
I don't make a lot of cards usually just when I need one, I will whip one up in a hurry. This month at Scrap City it's all about cards so I had to make 5. I really enjoyed taking my time on the these and now I will have a few ready when I need them.
This is a bad pic but the best that I can do without my laptop! This is another layout from the Cosmo Cricket Jack's World line for Scrap City's DT.
I used Cosmo Cricket's Jack's World paper and ribbon on this layout of Ben's School Picture and I wrote in white on the bottom of the grade to try and match the background paper.
Also, Cosmo Cricket paper for Bella's treat jar. I used the Black chip board for CC and went over it with Pearl Ex.
There is still plenty of time to get in the running for the prize this month at Scrap City.
I made this layout for Scrap City's theme challenge this month. The challenge is "Seasons", so I used hunting season, it can be anything really Fall, Winter, Seasons Greeting, Football Season...you get the idea. Go check out this month's challenges and the great prize for this month.
Our sponsor this month is Cosmo Cricket and I am working with the Jack's World line, which is adorable. I will post my projects around the 15th.
I have been a bad blogger! I think I have finally gotten my creativity back and am getting some things done. My laptop is on the fritz and I never knew how much I missed it 'til it was gone. I miss blog hopping while sitting on the couch. It's just not as much fun sitting at the desk in a room by myself. Anyway, please forgive me! I am trying to get back in the swing of things and I hope to be visiting your blog soon.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I'm in Florida visiting Greg's parents and I will be home Saturday. I am so ready to get back to scrapping!
Kristin and I just got home from the midnight showing of Twilight. OMG, it was awesome! Edward is so hot!
I am giving away this We R Memory Keepers page kit to the person who recruits the most new members to Scrap City during our crop this week. The paper is really great heavy weight and gorgeous design and colors. It comes with a sheet of alphabet stickers and a sheet of die cuts to match the paper.
We have some awesome challenges for this crop and some great prizes. Come over and join us at Scrap City for this fun crop!
This was taken Monday night, she was spayed that morning. Her wounds have healed wonderfully and the surgery went well. She's doing great today. It's hard to believe that we've only had her 3 weeks, she is so much a part of our family already and I can't imagine not having her.
Bella prefers to wear bandanas to hide her scar. The scars are part of her character but I hate people always asking me what happened to her when we go to PetSmart!
She is so smart she has learned sit, shake and lay down easily. She could learn more, I just don't know how to teach other commands! Anyone know any tricks I could teach her?
Another sketch for Scrap City, most of the patterned paper is SEI from one of Noel's kits.
This layout of Leanne and Ben was done from a sketch. The patterned paper is Basic Grey and Cosmo Cricket.
This is for my Scrap City design team challenge this month. We had to scrap a layout about an addiction and I always have a Diet Coke in my hand. I cut some embellishments from a carton the coke came in, for the background I painted the paper silver then sprinkled with glitter.
